Joanne Weir Gets Fresh - Ethan Hawke - Netflix

Ethan Green Hawke (born November 6, 1970) is an American actor, writer,
and director. He has been nominated for four Academy Awards and a Tony
Award. Hawke has directed three feature films, three Off-Broadway plays,
and a documentary, and written three novels. He made his film debut with
the 1985 science fiction feature Explorers, before making a breakthrough
appearance in the 1989 drama Dead Poets Society. He then appeared in
various films before taking a role in the 1994 Generation X drama
Reality Bites, for which he received critical praise. In 1995, Hawke
starred in Richard Linklater's romantic drama film Before Sunrise, and
later in its sequels Before Sunset (2004) and Before Midnight (2013),
all of which met with critical acclaim. Hawke has been twice nominated
for both the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and the Academy
Award for Best Supporting Actor; his writing contributions to Before
Sunset and Before Midnight were recognized, as were his performances in
Training Day (2001) and Boyhood (2014). Hawke was further honored with
SAG Award nominations for both films, as well as BAFTA Award and Golden
Globe Award nominations for the latter. His other films include the
science fiction drama Gattaca (1997), the contemporary adaptation of
Hamlet (2000), the action thriller Assault on Precinct 13 (2005), the
crime drama Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007), the horror film
Sinister (2012), and the Paul Schrader-helmed First Reformed (2017). In
addition to his film work, Hawke has appeared in many theater
productions. He made his Broadway debut in 1992 in Anton Chekhov's The
Seagull, and was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a
Play in 2007 for his performance in Tom Stoppard's The Coast of Utopia.
In 2010, Hawke directed Sam Shepard's A Lie of the Mind, for which he
received a Drama Desk Award nomination for Outstanding Director of a
Play.

Hawke pursued a number of projects away from acting throughout the early
2000s. He made his directorial debut with Chelsea Walls (2002), an
independent drama about five struggling artists living in the famed
Chelsea Hotel in New York City. The film was critically and financially
unsuccessful. A second novel, 2002's Ash Wednesday, was better received
and made the New York Times Best Seller list. The tale of an AWOL
soldier and his pregnant girlfriend, the novel attracted critical
praise. The Guardian called it “sharply and poignantly written ... makes
for an intense one-sitting read”. The New York Times noted that in the
book Hawke displayed “a novelist's innate gifts ... a sharp eye, a fluid
storytelling voice and the imagination to create complicated
individuals”, but was “weaker at narrative tricks that can be taught”.
In 2003 Hawke made a television appearance, guest starring in the second
season of the television series Alias, where he portrayed a mysterious
CIA agent. In 2004 Hawke returned to film, starring in two features,
Taking Lives and Before Sunset. Upon release, Taking Lives received
broadly negative reviews, but Hawke's performance was favored by
critics, with the Star Tribune noting that he “plays a complex character
persuasively”. Before Sunset, the sequel to Before Sunrise (1995)
co-written by Hawke, Linklater, and Delpy, was much more successful. The
Hartford Courant wrote that the three collaborators “keep Jesse and
Celine iridescent and fresh, one of the most delightful and moving of
all romantic movie couples.” Hawke called it one of his favorite movies,
a “romance for realists”. Before Sunset was nominated for an Academy
Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, Hawke's first screenwriting Oscar
nomination. Hawke starred in the 2005 action thriller Assault on
Precinct 13, a loose remake of John Carpenter's 1976 film of the same
title, with an updated plot. The film received ambivalent reviews; some
critics praised the dark swift feel of the film, while others compared
it unfavorably to John Carpenter's original. Hawke also appeared that
year in the political crime thriller Lord of War, playing an Interpol
agent chasing an arms dealer played by Nicolas Cage. In 2006, Hawke was
cast in a supporting role in Fast Food Nation, directed by Richard
Linklater based on Eric Schlosser's best-selling 2001 book. The same
year Hawke directed his second feature, The Hottest State, based on his
eponymous 1996 novel. The film was released in August 2007 to a tepid
reception.

Hawke's next role, and one for which he received substantial critical
acclaim, came in Training Day (2001). Hawke played rookie cop Jake Hoyt,
alongside Denzel Washington, as one of a pair of narcotics detectives
from the Los Angeles Police Department spending 24 hours in the gang
neighborhoods of South Los Angeles. The film was a box office hit,
taking $104 million worldwide, and garnered generally favorable reviews.
Variety wrote that “Hawke adds feisty and cunning flourishes to his role
that allow him to respectably hold his own under formidable
circumstances.” Paul Clinton of CNN reported that Hawke's performance
was “totally believable as a doe-eyed rookie going toe-to-toe with a
legend [Washington]”. Hawke himself described Training Day as his “best
experience in Hollywood”. His performance earned him Screen Actors Guild
and Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actor.
